iPad App Celebrates Year of Italian Culture

The app has been expanded to include all key events scheduled by the Italian government as part of the 2013: Year of Italian Culture in the United States program. With the addition of these Italian-cultural locations and events across America, The Italian Way app becomes a comprehensive guide to Italy in America.

More than 180 events in 40 U.S. cities have been organized to celebrate the Year of Italian Culture in the United States, a project of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some 70 museums and cultural institutions throughout the U.S. will display masterpieces on loan from Italy that range from the classical to the contemporary. In addition to a wealth of art, musical, theatrical and cinematic offerings, there will be events focused on literature, science, design, fashion and of course, Italian food.

The Italian Way app guides users to authentic Italian locations in America—espresso bars, cafes, outdoor markets, neighborhood parks and piazzas, Italian restaurants and gelato—where it’s possible to experience the “feeling” of being in Italy while remaining in the United States. With this latest update, The Italian Way app now offers a unique combination of Italian lifestyle experiences, plus current Italian cultural events.

The Italian Way also offers suggested itineraries where multiple authentic Italian locations are within walking distance of one another. New itineraries for all Year-of-Italian-Culture locations have now been added.

Enjoyment of Italian culture and lifestyle in America starts by going to The Italian Way website, www.theitalianwayapp.com.
